Tap, Tap, Tap Away! You Are Worthy of Happiness Have you ever had the experience of being in a terrific mood when someone asks, “What’s making you so darned happy?” I have had this happen to me on multiple occasions. It’s almost as if my friends became irritated that I had found a path to happiness, even though what they saw as “reality” was making it very clear that I “should” be angry, depressed, annoyed, or—at the very least—frustrated! “Never ever face reality unless it is perfect in every way.” —Abraham/Hicks Recently, I have revisited the exercise called The Tapping Solution. This is a stress-reducing exercise that involves tapping certain points on the body while talking through strong emotions or traumatic memories. The World Health Organization has labeled stress as the 21st-century health epidemic, and The Tapping Solution has an exercise that has been scientifically proven to reduce stress by 41 percent in under 10 minutes. My daughter, Carissa, had shared the process with me last year, and it helped me get through some challenging times in 2020. Back then, my goal was to release my anxiety about all the changes that were taking place in the world. Like many people who encounter processes that work, I drifted away from tapping when I began to calm down…which is just when I should have kept doing what was working. Darn. Recently, however, I’d noticed a change in my daughter’s vibe, to the point where I was compelled to ask her what she was doing to

be so happy. She told me that she had returned to tapping and was using a daily six-minute session called “Instant Boost of Happiness,” by Nick Ortner. “Sweet serendipity…the unexpected meeting that changes your life.” —Alexia Chianis This reconnection was a perfect match to what I have been working on with Mike Dooley’s program, “Playing the Matrix: The Laser-Focused Series Online Course.” His take is that all any of us really want is to be happy. This tapping exercise delivered me a tool to raise my happiness in just six short minutes…and it works! Some of the statements in this tapping session made me stop and realize how many of us feel that it is “odd” to be happy. These statements in particular stood out to me: “Society often tells us it’s not safe being happy. We will stand out…You deserve to be happy.” Sound familiar? “There’s a difference between thinking you deserve to be happy and knowing that you are worthy of being happy. Your being alive makes worthiness your birthright. You alone are enough.” —Oprah Winfrey I encourage everyone who reads this column to check out Nick Ortner’s website thetappingsolution.com. What do you have to lose? Just six minutes.
